Jan 5, 2004; 10:17PM - Spanish Mackerel Tricks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

WEEKLY FISH COUNT
STRIPED MARLIN: ONE FISH KEPT (HOOKED IN EYE) (#130)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 8, 2004
This trip was a split share and unfortunately one couple was very ill from the beginning. Juan and his brother kept the “Fly Hooker” close to shore on the way up the Sea of Cortez in order to avoid the large swell and the chop farther out, and they were headed toward the Outer Gorda Bank. That is where the action has been on the Striped Marlin. The father and son half of the charter were fine, and gave the couple some Dramamine at the beginning of the trip. The problem with that is if is not in you for longer than 15 minutes, it does not have a chance to help you! They managed to get to the Outer Gorda Bank, just 2 miles from where the fish were, and then it became too much for the couple. Father and son were not very happy, but the couple was on a honeymoon so there was some sympathy there. Juan had the boat back at the slip at 12:30 with no flags flying.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 9, 2004
Another split charter, this time with two couples and a single guy. Don was the single guy, and he was first at the boat this morning. The wind died down a bit last night so we were hoping that the water had mellowed out as well. As things turned out, they had mellowed out quite a bit and everyone was fine. Don was the only one to get any action though, as he was standing next to the rod when a Striped Marlin of about #130 jumped on the lure. Juan said that there were two other fish that hit at the same time, but only this one hooked up. Don fought the fish for 30 minutes and planned to release it, but when it got close to the boat it was discovered that the fish had been hooked through one eye and would have been shark food if released. They spotted several other fish during the trip but could not get any of them to eat. They fished the same area, outside the Outer Gorda Bank, and Juan said that it looked as if the fish were slowly moving our way with the warmer water. I hope so! Thanks guys, I wish everyone had a chance to get a Marlin, but that is the way it goes sometimes!
Until next week, Tight Lines!
